+ 9th birthday event
Saturday 15 April 2023
Click here to join the event on Facebook
It's our 9th birthday and we are celebrating with a special audio-visual lineup that includes some Crux regulars and amazing guests.
I AM FYA
I Am Fya is an experimental artist from Manchester, based in Brighton, UK. Her music brings together low-end textures with collaged field recordings, referencing sound system culture and notions of belonging, through lyrical narratives delivered in her febrile vocal style.
Her recent work collects sound from her homeland, Barbados, and focuses on identity, culture, spiritual connections to land and ancestors, radical self-love, the power of chosen family, otherness and acceptance.
INCIRRATA
Incirrata are a two headed, multi tentacled beast spraying out broken beats, clattering breaks, badbwoy basslines and minor chord melodies. They are formed of Amousement - a Sardinian/East London breakcore producer and electronic music teacher and Dan Hekate - A musician/filmmaker from London with over 20 years of broken beats production under his belt. Expect the unexpected from this dynamic underwater duo.

MOWGLI TV
From audiovisual live shows at the British Film Institute to award-winning interactive installations for Burning Man, light art for the V&A Digital Weekender and pilot programs for the BBC, VJing for Shambala and underground clubs. Mowgli's solo and collaborative work spans the senses and creative disciplines. He will be presenting his latest performance work, an improvised mix of modular synth with his trademark generative visuals.

MOORMUR + special guests
Moormur is a London-based producer/beat maker/musician. His work is characterised by intricate rhythms, groovy beats, lush soundscapes and it explores sounds and rhythm from across the world. His sound blends elements of spiritual jazz, instrumental hip hop, ambient, world music and IDM to create a personal and unique sound that is both complex and accessible.
For this performance Moormur will be joined by some guest vocalists.

+ KOFFGOKHAN
will be accompanying the set with their colourful live animated visuals!
His visual themes include complex-dynamic geometric designs, psychedelic shamanic faces, otherworldly science fiction landscapes and cute cartoon creatures that come to life with light. He improvises and explores new vibes in the ephemeral nature of audiovisual experiences.

DECOMMISSIONED FORESTS
Dream technicians... The result of friendships going back to the beginnings of this century and a shared love of the darker post-industrial world of Coil, Current 93, Cabaret Voltaire and Nurse With Wound.
Daniel Vincent (of cult space rockers The Resonance Association) handles the music, ably abetted by Howard Gardner (the multi-media artist behind Non-Bio and Pillars of Golden Misery), whilst the vocals are channelled by Max Rael (the lynchpin of post-industrial noiseniks History of Guns).
The result is at times unsettling, at others genuinely moving.
